The KGN Pillinger CAT 5 Washdown Booster Set is designed to prevent backflow contamination of the mains water supply, while maintaining flow and pressure. The system is ideal for washdown applications such as bin washing, window cleaning and food processing.
What is a booster set used for?
Boosters may be used for increasing gas pressure, transferring high pressure gas, charging gas cylinders and scavenging.
What is a CAT 5 break tank and booster set?
What is a CAT 5 booster set? A CAT 5 booster set is a booster set with a break tank that complies with current fluid category 5 regulations and is complete with an AB air gap. The booster set is designed for connection to the mains water supply and provide backflow protection against a category 5 fuild.
What is a break tank and booster set?
In water distribution, the term break tank refers to a pressure-less and closed water tank, with an air gap that ensures zero backflow into the system. Grundfos supplies pumps and booster sets for pressure-boosting in break tank systems for buildings and water supply.
What does a booster set do?
A booster set is often used to improve the water supply in buildings where there is insufficient pressure and flow available or water storage is required. A water booster pump, like the ones that we supply at Flowmech, is designed to boost performance automatically.
What is a booster pump set?
What is a booster set? The technical answer to this question is that it is a multi-pump skid-mounted system comprising: Normally two or more pumps, commonly with variable speed drives. Manifolds, valves and expansion vessels. Control gear, sensors and BMS interface system.
How do I know if I need a booster pump?
Water booster pumps are required when the pressure and flow rate delivered at individual plumbing fixtures fail to meet code requirements. However, before installing the system it is important to confirm if low pressure is not due to other factors, such as clogged or undersized piping.
The current Water Regulations were introduced in 1999 in England and Wales and in 2000 in Scotland and all water companies actively enforce the regulations. Our fluid category 5 break tanks for WRAS approved potable water tanks and non-potable water meets the specific requirements of backflow prevention.
What is fluid category 5 backflow protection?
Fluid category 5 fluid which represents a serious health hazard because of the concentration of pathogenic organisms, radioactive or very toxic substances. These situations require a Class 5 backflow prevention device which will incorporate a Type AB air gap or equivalent.
What is a CAT5 booster?
The booster set is designed for connection to a wholesome water supply and provide back flow and syphonage protection to a Category 5 system. The overflow and weir are screened to enable connection to Hygienic systems. However this unit is not designed to supply drinking water.
How do you determine tank capacity?
For a rectangular tank: To find the capacity of a rectangular or square tank: Multiply length (L) by width (W) to get area (A). Multiply area by height (H) to get volume (V). Multiply volume by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot to get capacity (C).
What is a Category 5 break tank?
These are fluids that represent a serious health risk due to the concentration of pathogenic organisms or highly toxic or radioactive substances present within them. This can include animal or butchery waste, faecal matter or other human waste, or pathogens from a range of other sources.
What is a break tank?
In water distribution, the term break tank refers to a pressure-less and closed water tank, with an air gap that ensures zero backflow into the system.
